Jennifer gets real about the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict, why "how you show up" matters more than what your partner does, and the one question she asks clients who are stuck trying to decide whether to stay or go. She also opens up about her own divorce, what she wishes she'd known, and why coaching and therapy aren't an either/or.
In this episode:
The real difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict
Why accountability (not blame) is the turning point in relationship coaching
The question that helped Jennifer finally make her decision
Why therapy and coaching work better together, not against each other
How to co-parent through high conflict without losing the kids in the middle
Three things every couple in conflict needs to hear
